Miss Mischievous

Miss Don't-do-this and Don't-do-that Has such a sunny smileYou cannot help but chuckle at Her cuteness and her guile.Her locks are silken floss of gold, Her eyes are pansy blue:Maybe of years to eighty old The best is two.

Miss Don't-do-this and Don't-do-that To roguishness is fain;To guard that laughter-loving brat Is quite a strain;But when she tires of prank and play And says good-night,I'm longing for another day Of child delight.

Miss Don't-do-this and Don't-do-that Will grow up soon.I hope she'll never throw her hat Athwart the moon.Yet I'll be sorrowful indeed, Remembering a dayBefore she learned to humbly heed The word OBEY.
